I don't know about running an upgraded test environment alongside an
existing live environment, but...
Have you considered making use of a virtual-server? We're using a
virtual environment to stage our report conversions (from Report-Builder
to Crystal) and to validate the upgrade process itself. VMWare
(http://www.vmware.com) has a free product (VMWare Server) for creating
virtual machines, as well as another free product for "converting" (or
cloning) an existing physical-machine and creating a virtual-machine of
it instead (or in addition).

Can you install the upgrade in the Test environment while Live is still
running and being used? Or does everyone need to be off the server in
order to install into Test?
Thanks,
